According to CentOS blog, after May 31, 2024, CentOS Stream 8 will be archived and no further updates will be provided.

Migration/Upgrade options:

• Migrate to CentOS Stream 9
• Convert to RHEL 8, there are no cost licenses for use under some conditions
• Convert to another operating system in the Enterprise Linux ecosystem. Several projects have derived new operating systems from the CentOS and RHEL sources

However, the conversion tool doesn’t support CentOS Stream:

Conversions from CentOS Stream to RHEL are not currently possible.

This is the error you’ll get when you try convert2rhel

[root@j1 ~]# convert2rhel analyze

Upgrading to CentOS Stream 9 isn’t available so it looks like I’m kinda stuck 🤷🏻‍♀️.

VSCode would not display any texts on Wayland after updating @world. I wasn’t sure if it was due to recent make.conf changes that I have made so I decided to run VSCode with –verbose.

Googling “Skia shader compilation error” leads to..

Certain Mesa version updates cause broken shader compilation leading to artifacts in application UI. The issue is tracked in issue #190437, which also contains the link to the Chromium bug report. You can identify this issue by running with --verbose and looking for the following line ERROR:shared_context_state.cc(81)] Skia shader compilation error in the logs. If you are affected by this issue, the current workaround is to delete the GPU cache located at ~/.config/Code/GPUCache.

https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_82#:~:text=You%20can%20identify%20this%20issue,.config%2FCode%2FGPUCache%20.

Deleting GPUCache worked!

❯ rm -rf ~/.config/Code/GPUCache/

Lastest portage update removed portageq and finally broke ltoize

Since GentooLTO has been removed from the official Gentoo Overlay, I finally decided to pull the plug as well.

Now that I have updated make.conf, should I rebuid @world?

Decided to transfer the domain before it gets transfered to Squarespace.

Had some issues with MX record but it looks like transfer has been completed successfully!

vim plugin uses its own redo / undo history that vscode does not keep track of.

For some reason, I kept running into an issue where redo / undo history gets messed up on both vim plugin and vscode.

After some googling, I found coppyC’s solution suited the best for me.

    "vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
        {
            "before": ["u"],
            "commands": ["undo"]
        },
        {
            "before": ["<C-r>"],
            "commands": ["redo"]
        }
    ],

Recently switched the frontend to haproxy as the server was using non-standard ports for flask.

This resulted breaking lets encrypt cert renewal process as the ports used by flask were no longer exposed.

Luckily, Google domain supports DNS text records:

[root@j1 ~]# certbot -d nicewarm.coffee --manual --preferred-challenges dns certonly

Please deploy a DNS TXT record under the name:

_acme-challenge.nicewarm.coffee.

with the following value:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Before continuing, verify the TXT record has been deployed. Depending on the DNS
provider, this may take some time, from a few seconds to multiple minutes. You can
check if it has finished deploying with aid of online tools, such as the Google
Admin Toolbox: https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/dig/#TXT/_acme-challenge.nicewarm.coffee.
Look for one or more bolded line(s) below the line ';ANSWER'. It should show the
value(s) you've just added.
